Inventory Dashboard
Your stock levels, your reorder rules.
What changes when you build this
The gaps you're living with today,
and what this tool fixes.
Problems
- Stock levels live in 3+ systems — WMS, ERP, spreadsheet — and none of them agree
- Ops leads discover low-stock situations only after a customer order fails to ship
- Reorder decisions rely on a weekly spreadsheet export that's outdated by Tuesday
- Warehouse teams can't filter inventory by location, so picking errors compound
- No one knows which vendor is behind on replenishment until it's already a backlog
Solutions
- One dashboard pulls stock data from every source into a single, live view
- Low-stock alerts fire automatically when quantities drop below reorder thresholds
- Reorder points are visible per SKU so purchasing acts before stockouts happen
- Warehouse filters let each location see only their inventory, reducing picking noise
- Vendor replenishment status is tracked alongside inventory so delays surface early

Mistakes to avoid
These are the failure patterns teams hit most often
when building this.
Stale quantity dataFix: Sync inventory counts from your source system on a schedule — hourly at minimum — so the dashboard never shows yesterday's numbers.

Reorder points set once and forgottenFix: Review reorder thresholds quarterly against actual demand velocity. A threshold from six months ago may not match today's order volume.

No warehouse segmentationFix: Add a warehouse or location column from day one so each site can filter to their own stock without noise from other locations.

Vendor delays invisibleFix: Track expected vs. actual replenishment dates per vendor so late deliveries are flagged before they become stockouts.

Spreadsheet shadow inventoryFix: Replace offline stock tracking by giving warehouse leads a filtered live view they can trust more than their own spreadsheet.
